A man dressed in typical Arab clothes holds a traditional style coffee pot. The white dishdasha and turban remains unchanged as the normal dress code for local males. The Heritage Village recreates the architectural styles and traditions of the pre-oil era. Visitors can sample Arabic-style cardamom-flavoured coffee.

It's a shame that more of the original buildings were not retained during the oil boom.
